In 1982, Sue Grafton introduced Kinsey Millhone. Today, Kinsey is an icon of detective fiction and her creator is at the top of her form. This collection is both a look at Sue Grafton’s own early life in the guise of the character Kit Blue, and a fascinating glimpse of Kinsey Millhone in nine tales featuring “the spunkiest, funniest, and most engaging private investigator [in] the entire detective novel genre.”—Entertainment Weekly

I chose to read this book this month because it is on another bookcrosser's wish list and it met Plum-crazy's "what to read for September" theme of the Periodic Table (Sue Grafton's initials, Sg=Seaborgium). I enjoyed the Kinsey short stories, the Kit Blue stories about her childhood and how it affected the rest of her life, not so much.

A combined RABCK from two BOSS Bookcrossers! Thank you so much, ☺ French Fryed ☺ I've wanted this book for a long time! Glad you sent it in 2021, so I can read it for my 2022 Reduce Mount TBR Challenge! And? Seeing as how you read it for that "Elemental Challenge?" You've definitely out-nerded THIS nerd!
